Between the 7th and the 15th of August 2021, the Hungarian Province of the Society of Jesus, in collaboration with other Jesuit Provinces and female Ignatian congregations, will organize a summer Magis Europe 2021 event for young adults. It’s a program for 18-35 year old youth, who are interested in Ignatian spirituality, for participants from Europe.
The meeting is divided in two parts: Ignatian experiments and the Closing event. The activities are designed to show young people the meaning of teamwork, to give them a sense of international community and to expose them to unusual situations which contribute to their human and spiritual growth. Magis event offers a number of various experiments to choose from, grouped in several categories: Pilgrimage, Spirituality, Service, Arts, Ecology and Culture. The venue of the experiments will be in Hungary and in neighboring Slovakia. The Closing event (13th – 15th of August) will take place in Miskolc, Hungary, where all the participants of Magis Europe 2021 will gather.
The central theme of MAGIS 2021 will be the conversion of Saint Ignatius: “To see all things new in Christ”. The year 2021 is the 500th anniversary of his conversion: his transformation from a noble knight at the siege of Pamplona to a humble pilgrim, the companion of Jesus.
The MAGIS event is also inspired by the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress in Budapest, Hungary, and also from the first of the Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Society of Jesus: „To show the way to God”. Throughout the meeting we would like to discover the Eucharistic aspect of the Ignatian spirituality in depth.
The event will be held in English, therefore a sufficient level of knowledge of the language is needed.
